Conclusion - for whom is it suitable?
So: Who is the small BMW G 310 R suitable for? For small and light people, of course. Those who simply want to ride a motorcycle and place little value on riding performance.
It is ideal for people who answer the question asked at the beginning whether a scooter would not be the better choice, with the handiness and driving pleasure of the BMW G 310 R. If the concept motorcycle is superior to that of the scooter, then here.
The Japanese competition is usually a bit more expensive than the BMW (wouldn't have thought I'd ever write this sentence). However, it usually exhausts the 48 hp limit of the driving licence class A2 and brings a little more peace than the BMW, which some consider to be hilarious.
But: After initial scepticism, one thing is clear: make sure the G 310 R is really fun. Who would have thought that?

Conclusion - what gets stuck
So all right, Markus, would that be a buying candidate after the inspection? Here yes, if you get to grips with the misfires, the Honda NTV Revere would be a very good purchase. However, this is due to the condition of the machine. This does not mean scratches or optical things, but the condition of the wear parts. If the brakes are gone, all liquids are changeable, tyres are old and cracked, a handsome soup would come up at the cost price of 1,700 euros.
Markus drew a very similar conclusion during the test of the Suzuki GS 500 E, and it has lost nothing of its topicality.
